    Sorry to jump on your post but I’ve been following you all year and I know …Sorry to jump on your post but I’ve been following you all year and I know you know your stuff. Any recommendations for a budget of £1000 atm or should I wait? It’s for my 16 year old lad just for gaming.


    i feel as its best time to wait as think which were decent in november have either expired or they have just gone up in ur price range.

    so getting boxing week out the way can be a good thing for system builders who have been busy on the lead upto it while the others try n play 2nd fiddle with so called its a boxing day kinda sale.

    i.e ebuyer has dropped this down:
    ebuyer.com/141…359

    why would u settle for that when u can get a TI here:

    cclonline.com/pro…TI/

    & the later has been down to £915 on a blackfriday and just before xmas 1015 and has had some more off again, so i expect some more TI models in some format at 1k

    around the first week of jan should be an interesting period id suggest on the decent firms being back at what they do.

    if i see out before hand ill post but atm nice break lol. (edited)

    Hi Pal.

    Very nice deal was posted by another user if one can get the student discount sorted.

    its that 5800+3060Ti. cracking deal that.
    best of both worlds, R5 in Gaming Terms, and 8 core for other things without the price tag.

    Could you please help with a £2k prebuild with a 3080? Not sure whats the best combo of CPU and motherboard atm and what's best price performance? Looking to get the best FPS at 1080p and possibly move up to 1440p in the future.

    Have a check under this.

    u got the 5600X ideal at £1995.00

    u can use the extra on site to +115 for the 5800X / +35 for the artic cooler / + change case / + 95 for 3600mhz 32Gb ram.
    ive selected 3 ideas inside of that one as a guide but u can mix/match it up.

    One of the best value ones going atm.

    & there is also a mention of a backdoor one in the comments via a nice intel method for a nice i7 too.


    there is also this one here:

    hotukdeals.com/dea…387

    ^ this one needs ram sorting, but its a nice price system taking into account all/n everything thoughly.

    & then u have the AWD 12600K / 12700K and then at the bottom the 11600K/11700K

    here:
    hotukdeals.com/dea…339

    have a gander and let me know which one takes u fancy the most.

    Grab a Doc sheet and make some combo what u like n prices on these links ive sent and then come back to me if u need be.

    the other way, hangfire for the epic 6700xt / 3060Ti which should be back u can make nice n customise, then down the line obtain an FE 3080 / 3080TI and then sell the card in the prebuilt and quids in, its been a very pop idea of mine on here for a while, but just hangfire for the ones to do that one soon. - they be back,

    I have a very limited budget so I got a old second hand P.C recently, it’s a I7 4th gen (haswell)?

    12 gb RAM, 120gb ssd & 2 tb HDD and a hd 7770 gpu (I know that needs upgrading fast but think am stuck with it for now until prices come down on gpu’s even second hand ones better than this one hopefully by 2023 and actually in stock and also still at a low cost)

    Having been out of the P.C hobby for so many years I feel like I am relearning stuff though I have always kept an eye on some stuff. (edited)

    Hi,
    As they are all quiet similar could you please give your opinion on which company you feel is the most legit and used new components and also has good reputation from your experience? My last comp was from cyberpower.

    AND NO PROBS WITH ANY!
